Goat Goes West

A few images from West of Here, where some of the poetry offered up on this site has found its way recently into the hands of kind caretakers. Admittedly it is kind of thrilling to know this work travels far better than its author…

Goat has never been on a Vancouver cafe run before (at least as far as I know). So thanks, MB, for expanding my horizons! And many thanks to all of you who’ve taken one poem or another for a ride in your mind or your car, wherever you are.

Look for Goat to visit Seattle and San Francisco in August. Goat has expressed a wish to visit the City Lights Bookstore, home of the beat poets. I am worried about Goat’s tendency to lie down in traffic but am thinking that it’s just a misunderstood poet Goat thing?
